The young boy’s father is a daily wager and didn’t have the resources to make any attempt to get his son back.

“I got the police officers’ help and also from the two district authorities. The boy’s uncle came from Shornur and handed over the boy to Kozhikode Fire Force officials, who drove Jugal to Wayanad and handed him to his parents,” said Saseendran.

The parents and Jugal were just overjoyed. “I was witness to those moments and felt very happy that I was able to get the boy back,” said Saseendran.
